Its main focus is sensitive resource protection. The plan prioritizes tactical response strategies based on locations where spills might occur and the proximity of those locations to natural, cultural, and economic resources at risk of injury. By using this document it’s hoped that immediate and proper action can be taken to reduce spilled oil’s impact on sensitive resources within the planning area. After a spill occurs, control and containment at, or near, the spill source are top priorities. Beyond those efforts, the tactical response strategies provided in this plan should be implemented using the priority tables in Chapter 4, unless overflight observations, spill trajectory models, or unique circumstances dictate otherwise. This plan also provides information about the type and location of natural and economic resources in the area. Specific information about the location of cultural sites were taken into consideration in the development of this plan but such information cannot be provided in this document due to the confidential nature of the resources. 5 MOSES LAKE/CRAB CREEK GRP OCTOBER 2015 RECORD OF CHANGES Name of Person Date Change Number Summary of Changes Making Change 10/2015 MLCC-001 Update of Purpose and Use, Chapter 1, Chapter 3, H.
